Mr.. w. A. CARTEB, in a recent lecture
on Marine and Fresh Water Fishes, {"
said that fish have the power Of infu-
encing one another by sounds and ac-
ton. He had observed shoal of carp
following the lead of single one which
conducted them to quantity of food
at considerable distance away. He
had also noticed that certain fresh
water fish, such as trout, were sub
servient to a ruler, which might be
seen swimming at the head of his
tribe. The same was possibly the case
with some marine forms like the her
ring and bass.

A Greedy Old Girl.

During Queen Victoria's reign-may
her shadow never grow less; it can't
grow very much greater-there has
been added to her realm 100000
square miles of territory, and the popu-
lation she controls in her colonies has
been about trebled. This is why our
big hearted mother country shudders
with horror every time she sees any
other nation casting greedy eyes upon
an island in the Arctic Ocean, forty
miles square. If Nictoria-God save
the Queen-reigns another fifty years.
God save the rest of us. She would by
that time own so much of this earth
that the British possessions would stick
out beyond the edges half way to the
moon, and all the II factories in the
universe would be running on time.

A Baseball Sermon.

The Rev. Mr.. Woolsack, popularity
known as The Deacon" in his sermon mp
the creek last Sunday, as reported by the
Oil City Derrick, made few remarks per-
tinent TO baseball. Pointing cut of the
window at game in progress on the ad-
joining Wilson flats, he said: "See that
loafer with the bird-cage on his head
standing like a stTaddle-bug behind the
bat. He is not desecrating the Sabbath
day by playing ball, because he isn't play
ing ball. He can't play. He imagines he
can, of course, and goes through all the
painful contortions of real ball player,
but in the Devils score-book he is charged
ten times over for every error he makes,
and IA nice record he will have when the
season is over and the time for his eternal
rest should be at hand. IL will be q sorry
rest for him.
Just then some one made long hit and
q shout went mp from the crowd.
"Yes, hoopla!" yelled the deacon, rais-
ing his voice above tho din, "hoopla till
the cows come home, but unless you raise
your voices in hosannas 70 the Lord you
will never reach the shining homo plate
of everlasting life. That was long hit
to center, and / give his nibs there credit
for taking il in, but the Devil will take him
in Just as slick on the last inning Of all.
You may send in your curved balls, and
smash the leather in the nose to the right
or 10 the left field; you may steal from
bag to bag and slide in home on your
pantaloons, but finally you will get q goose
egg in the kingdom to come. Aye, pound
on the pearly gates with your baseball

ton on the fact that there has been a
remarkable falling off in the sales of
bound volumes in the last ten years

place but about one-third as many

could ten years ago." If the change is
greatly due to the great development

the owner of the Quito ranch. He first

thrifty growth induced him, two years

imitation Of the methods of European
countries, to set ont grapevines be-
